wallet Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi, I wrote this post so as to resume what have been said in many posts. I have a ps2 keyboard that didn't work with my USB mouse. First go to your PC bios and DISABLE "USB LEGACY SUPPORT" Go to you MAC OSX system Open the virtual keyboard Open a terminal type : sudo -s enter your password if you have one type : kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext now you can verify if you keyboard works. After you have to modify the file RC So open a terminal or continue to the last terminal Type : sudo -s mount -uw / nano /private/etc/rc then you can with the "Control" key and the "V" key on your keyboard go to the end of the RC file. Before "exit0" type this : kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext then press "control" and "O" key to wrote the file, Enter Now You have to reboot, Voila!
